The Democratic Party is a party of coalitions

When those coalitions break down, we lose period

So, maybe it's time to quit wedging dissenting views about our candidates by calling on folks like HRC to be primaried, looking at you Rachel Maddow and talking to you Nation magazine, Salon, etc., and a special shout-out to Cornell West for sewing distrust in our coalition for immediate political gratification.

It's always the well-to-do elitists that pick our pockets, depress our vote, it is always the folks with resources that are the first to say, What happened?" after every election loss.

Obama was so alone after his first inauguration, as the elites patted themselves on the back as we lost our retirement, homes, savings, credit. All gone by 2010,and then we lose Congressand the State legislatures?!

Soul search on that set of facts.

we - fellow Obama supporters - had to leave and form our own group at one point.

I always said look THE REPUBLICANS ARE THE PROBLEM !!!!!!!!

Back then no one could hear it as they were busy attacking Obama.

Tim Ryan had this right, we need to unite as a party, now we have no choice but it might be too late.
